About the reviewer
I started MyPushchair in 2006 after struggling to find honest, straightforward pushchair advice as a new dad. With more than 30 years in family travel and leisure — and as a parent and grandparent who still tests pushchairs in the real world — I returned to relaunch the site with one aim: helping parents buy the right pushchair the first time.
I’m not trying to recommend the most expensive option or the newest model. I’m trying to help you work out which one actually fits the life you lead — and to be honest when a cheaper pushchair will do the job just as well.
